I have not voted
Reform and live in a safe tory seat But I voted
Lib dem tactical vote

I said ages Ago on here the reform would do really well and was shouted down.

Same as brexit, no one will admit voting for reform but
They still do it in droves it seems.

I'm Willing to bet they
Might win an election in four years at this rate!!

Scary
Times

Wanting stricter immigration control does not mean you are a racist.

So it's single issue for you? Reform because immigration?

Knitgoodwoman · 05/07/2024 06:50

With reform it’s not about the seats really but the sheer amount of people who voted for them. They’ll end up with a decent share % wise of the population having voted for them. If Labour don’t make some differences, and quickly, it’ll be an interesting next election.

Who the FUCK voted for Nigel Farage.

He's a snake. He triggers every instinctive alarm in my body.

It's like if Trump had a brain and the ability to calculate a rational plan.

Have you ever been to Clacton?

Reform is the party of choice for the bottom feeders among us. They have a severe image problem, which will be very difficult to shake - too difficult IMO for them to ever go mainstream.

The problem is that ultimately there are many more poorer people in the country than well off.
And neither of the big parties represent them

Their policy is this “The party also said it will end illegal immigration and vastly reduce legal migration by leaving the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and introducing a “one in, one out” migration quota.”

So that is no net immigration, not the current 750,000 a year net immigration.

What was someone saying about people and reading?

There are about 17000 illegal migrants to the UK each year, so that is not really a significant problem.

Farage was very clear as is the Reform Ltd Contract that they would continue migration for those who fulfil essential roles, which means roughly at current levels.

You would think Nigel would have got the Russian bot farms to learn the word for 'pub'

OMG. That's flagrant.

I transparently am tired of the racist shit that gets pushed on people who are not white by those who think they are more enlightened and can tell them how they should vote and what they can think.

Show quote history

Enlightend is not a word that I connect with the average Reform voter. As for the 'racist shit', you and your narrow mindset brought that to the table.

Its interesting because I thought Brexit included reducing immigration and in fact it has risen significantly. So I wouldn't trust anything that comes out his mouth.
I also would note that you might get a lot more of the outs if they come into power (if anyone lets people in any more- it may come to a point where no one wants British immigrants and no one can escape) and therefore a lot more in too (which I don't think is terrible but I imagine those who voted for them do)

I'm trying to rewind.

I think he's genuinely delusional.

His Russian connections are worrying too.

Oh here we are....I think he's going for the whole "Dad's Army", grass roots vibe. But yeah "Mass National Movement". That is creepy.

Brandonsflowers · 05/07/2024 06:31

Something I forgot and I think a lot of others did too, Farage's lot didn't stand at the last election did they? So there was a feeling even in 2019 there was a split in the Tory vote.

For all the people crowing on about how this isn't a labour win and it's a Tory loss, I don't ever think the tories had the support they thought they did either.

You will be in for a shock in four years time.

Will Putin still be Russian President and supporting Farage and disrupting the politics of other countries?

No one cares in Wales about Plaid so it's unrealistic for the rest of the country to be interested in them.

Show quote history

On that basis, we shouldn't be interested in Reform Ltd either.
The remaining question is will the Greens also finish on 4 seats?

Reform will get stronger and stronger , they've only been ' live ' for a few weeks .

The thing is, every time any of those parties (UKIP, Brexit etc) come under any scrutiny, they start having scandals and sackings hand over fist.

Look at last week with the secret recordings.

They can't organise themselves or even keep their own candidates on-message.
